p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

Safeguarding is effective. The childminder understands her responsibility to safeguard children. She knows what to do if she is concerned about a child's welfare. She ensures her home is safe and secure and supervises children closely on outings. Parents speak highly of the childminder. They appreciate the time she takes to find out about children's welfare so that she can continue to meet their needs well. The childminder makes improvements to her provision. For example, she now provides children with more resources that encourage them to play imaginatively.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

The childminder has a suitable understanding of each child's development. She plans a broad range of fun and useful experiences that children enjoy after a full day at school. For example, children are enthusiastic about the daily trips to a local park where they can use the large equipment. The childminder helps children to master new skills well. For example, she demonstrates to children how to use some equipment and remains close by as they then try for themselves. When children arrive back at her home they are keen to find out what activities she has planned for them. For example, they enjoy playing board games and using craft resources. Children draw and write carefully, building well on the early writing skills they are developing at school.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

Children show good levels of well-being. They play together happily and greet the childminder warmly as they come out of school. They learn to take responsibility for their own possessions, such as on the walk home from school. They know to walk calmly and to watch for traffic and listen to the childminder before crossing the road. The childminder meets their care needs well. For example, she provides healthy snacks and opportunities for quiet as well as more energetic play. She is a good role model. She is very polite and kind. Children learn to be these things too.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children continue to build well on the progress they make at school while in the childminder's care. They learn to share their thoughts and ideas and to listen to those of others. They learn to use tools, such as scissors, pens and pencils, safely and effectively. They learn to take turns and to play cooperatively. They learn about their own and other people's cultures, such as by celebrating a range of different festivals.
